The premises of this film was decent, but what it's faults were was that in almost every scene, it just goes on and on when we've already gotten the point. For example, when he first realizes he's got a big problem on his hands and he's trying to think what ge needs to do about it. Or when they're heading to the uncle's property and it's the car on the road with like 10 clips of driving - all from exactly the same POV. These could've been quicker and to the point simply by adding a little bit of dialog, even if Bill was simply "thinking outloud". The driving bits could've been faster by the pimp asking how far away this uncle's land is before they got in the car to followed by driving scenes at night and then the daytime. Quick and to the point revealing that info the the viewer.

The whole cleaning, cleaning, cleaning bit could've been NOT annoying as he'll for 3 minutes straight if we'd have been shown a clock with the time indicated on it, a short version of the cleaning scene, and another view of the clock to let the viewer know he's been cleaning every nook and cranny of the room for hours on end.

The whole movie is like this. Plot - pretty dang good. Acting - it's alright. The final cut of the film - let's just say you quickly develop an itchy finger for the fast forward button

BTW, what ever happened to Bill's wife? I'm not going to spoil the delightful ending though. That one really made no sense.
